Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure how to keep going can be incredibly isolating. You don't have to face it alone. I am passionate about working with individuals who feel hopeless, have experienced trauma, or feel overwhelmed and unsure how to move forward. I especially enjoy working with children ages 6 and older, middle and high school students, and young adults. That said, I welcome clients of all ages and backgrounds and strive to create a space where you feel safe, understood, and supported.

I have additional training and licensure in substance use disorders and recently completed certification in Trauma focused cognitive behavioral therapy for children and teens.
You might be feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, or past experiences that still affect your daily life. Maybe you're stuck in survival mode, emotionally exhausted, or questioning your own strength. You want relief from racing thoughts, better coping skills, and a sense of calm and control. More than anything, you want to feel grounded, confident, and able to move forward without the weight of trauma, depression, or unhealthy patterns holding you back..

Sometimes we know something isn’t working in our lives—but we’re not sure how to fix it. Maybe you're feeling overwhelmed, stuck in unhelpful patterns, struggling with anxiety, low self-esteem, experiencing relationship challenges, or going through a major life transition. Whatever brings you here, your needs—your why—are at the heart of the work we'll do together. I’m a goal-focused therapist who believes therapy should be active and collaborative—not just sitting on a couch talking about problems. Together, we’ll identify what’s getting in your way and build practical tools to help you move forward.

You good? I ask because I can see that there's a pain in your eyes that you're trying so hard to disguise like everything is okay. I'm asking because I'm genuinely concerned about how you're doing. I know that we often think that people don't care about how we are but me, I do care. So, tell me, are you good? You don't have to hold onto all of that hurt, that anger, that anxiety, that stress, that pressure. You don't have to be the hero. You don't have to carry the weight of the world on your shoulders just so you can be criticized for not carrying a bigger boulder.

All of us experience times in our lives where we may feel sad, empty, alone, lost, uncertain, anxious, ambivalent, or overwhelmed. We may struggle with self worth and value. We may have difficulty reaching the goals we set for ourselves and feel we lack discipline or self control, we fall short and lose trust in ourselves to do the hard things. We feel disappointed, discouraged, embarrassed, ashamed, guilty. Our relationships may be experiencing stress or fall short of our needs. We may not know what to do or how to overcome these barriers to find that support, intimacy, trust, connection that we so strongly desire.
